Heres my recently acquired 1983 Cavalier 1.6L, 45,000 genuine miles, completely original and standard, 1 owner from April'83 to last year. Ive been after one for ages (for nostalgic reasons) - although i was after a saloon. Great website/club, i'll join properly, soon. All the best, Anthony.

Nice car. Welcome to the site.

Thanks buddy, its great to finally own one after all these years (we had two 1.6L saloons in the 80s when i was just a boy). Its survived incredibly well (mint interior). Nice to see all the enthusiasm about these cars on this site - i cant believe how mk2 cavaliers (and pretty much all everyday cars from the 80s) have virtually vanished.

Great car, looks to have been well loved over the years.

love that interior!

Yeah, it was apparently garaged most of the time, the interior is like it left the factory yesterday. It was also serviced twice a year by Vauxhall ! The old gent (who sadly passed away) must have loved it. Thats why i feel a responsibility to really look after it etc.

Welcome to the site! Love the car! Looks like a really genuine old timer. Are you leaving it old school or making any mods? I'm an old schooler myself, but I know lots of peeps like to upgrade them a bit.  

Hi Dawn, thanks. To be honest, modifying isnt my cup of tea. This old Cav will be kept COMPLETELY standard. Its the early clean look that i like - things like skinny tyres, no power steering, four gears etc are so retro. I love your machine and have read all your posts - well done for your dedication, im looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Aww, I'm so glad you're keeping it old school!    I think as these cars get rarer its nice to kinda have one of each model at least left standard besides all the modded ones. 

I'm getting really excited about mine now. I've FINALLY found a local garage who haven't laughed at me when I've enquired about the MOT repairs when it comes back from Kev at the bodyshop.

Can't wait to see/read more about yours! 

Could'nt agree more with you Dawn - nice to keep it as Vauxhall intended (and how it would have looked parked up in a street in 1983!). To be honest, i wont be using it as an everyday car - just now and then. The only future issues (surprise) will be slight bodywork attention as there are a few blisters etc. Hopefully i will be able to find an understanding garage aswell. I can imagine how excited you are, i'll be keeping an interested eye on your progress (in 10 years time we might have the only 2 standard cars left!) 

Lovely car Anthony. Welcome to the site. Get along to Billing. Would be great to have this on the stand if you join up. 

Many thanks Andy. I look forward to getting more involved. Well done for all the youtube uploads aswell - brilliant.
